E.g. if we have data Pair a b = Pair first :: a, second :: b then > first :: Pair a b -> a > second :: Pair a b -> b However for setting or modifying a field value we need to use some syntactic sugar, which is often clumsy. modifyFirst :: (a -> a) -> (Pair a b -> Pair a b) modifyFirst f r@(Pair first=a ) = r first = f a With this package you can define record field accessors which allow setting, getting and modifying values easily. The package clearly demonstrates the power of the functional approach: You can combine accessors of a record and sub-records, to make the access look like the fields of the sub-record belong to the main record. Example: > *Data.Accessor.Example> (first^:second^=10) (('b',7),"hallo") > (('b',10),"hallo") You can easily manipulate record fields in a 'Control.Monad.State.State' monad, you can easily code 'Show' instances that use the Accessor syntax and you can parse binary streams into records. See 'Data.Accessor.Example' for demonstration of all features. It would be great if in revised Haskell versions the names of record fields are automatically 'Data.Accessor.Accessor's rather than plain 'get' functions. For now, the package 'data-accessor-template' provides Template Haskell functions for automated generation of 'Data.Acesssor.Accessor's. See also the other 'data-accessor' packages that provide an Accessor interface to other data types. The package 'enumset' provides accessors to bit-packed records. For similar packages see 'lenses' and 'fclabel'. A related concept are editors <http://conal.net/blog/posts/semantic-editor-combinators/>. Editors only consist of a modify method (and 'modify' applied to a 'const' function is a 'set' function). This way, they can modify all function values of a function at once, whereas an accessor can only change a single function value, say, it can change 'f 0 = 1' to 'f 0 = 2'. This way, editors can even change the type of a record or a function. An Arrow instance can be defined for editors, but for accessors only a Category instance is possible ('(.)' method). The reason is the 'arr' method of the 'Arrow' class, that conflicts with the two-way nature (set and get) of accessors. %package devel Summary: Haskell %{pkg_name} library development files Group: Development/Libraries/Other Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release} Requires: ghc-compiler = %{ghc_version} Requires(post): ghc-compiler = %{ghc_version} Requires(postun): ghc-compiler = %{ghc_version} %description devel This package provides the Haskell %{pkg_name} library development files. %prep %setup -q -n %{pkg_name}-%{version} %build %ghc_lib_build %install %ghc_lib_install %post devel %ghc_pkg_recache %postun devel %ghc_pkg_recache %files -f %{name}.files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %doc LICENSE %files devel -f %{name}-devel.files %defattr(-,root,root,-) %changelog
